What time will I get to resort?

Hi,

My flight gets in at 10:25 AM at MCO airport. Using magical express, staying at GF. Does anyone have any idea what time I might expect to arrive at GF?

Thanks!

It's never taken me more than 70 mins from deplaning to my resort checkin line!! So, you should be all checked in, and set to go by noon!

we were at CBR and checked in, all in less than an hour after leaving the airport. I was actually thinking that it would take much longer. That included having our luggage in the room too. We were extremely pleased because we were hungry and ready for dinner when we got there.

Allow yourself an hour and a half to get to your resort. Allow the luggage much longer, possibly 3-6 hours. If you have an event or ADR shortly after landing, bring everything you'll need for the evening in your carryon (good sense, anyway, in case of luggage losses). Allow for checkin time (depends on resort and time of day/year), find-the-room time, freshen-up time, and most importantly, travel time to restaurant/event.

When my family went on Christmas this year, our flight landed at 6pm. We checked into SSR, left our carryon bags with bell svcs (did not go to room), caught a taxi, and were able to make our 9pm ADRs at CG in time to get to the deck and watch Wishes. I DON'T recommend this time schedule! We were extremely rushed, and the cab cost $20 (with generous Christmas tip). Give yourselves about 5 hours to allow for relaxed check-in and freshening up period.

Another DISer was able to make her ADR for 8:15 from the same flight, though. I think her game plan was to avoid check-in altogether and get on the ME bus to CG, but I don't know if that is what she ended up doing. She made it to her ADR from plane landing in 2 hours, 15 minutes. Amazing!

From the airport to GF your looking at about a 25-30 minute ride. The problem is how long will it take you from the plane to finally getting on the bus. We arrived at 1040 am on a Sunday morning and the lines were horrible. We ended up staying at the airport almost 2 hours after the planc landed. I know it isn't always like this but it was that day. Just plan ahead. Concerning our luggage the delivery was great. It appeared in our room less than 1 hour after checking in. But we did spend alot of time at the airport!
